Georgia residents have sued OpenAI and county officials under the state's racketeering law, alleging a $20 billion data center was secretly approved.

The suit says a county development authority official signed a non-disclosure agreement with OpenAI in October 2025, about nine months before the public announcement, and that the deal was approved under an agenda listing only "Project Gateway." It also alleges commissioners skipped two required hearings when changing industrial zoning. The allegations come from the residents' complaint as reported by Rohan Paul on X and Tom's Hardware; the defendants' responses are not reported.
